I guess they could make a trade before the Lottery as both aren't in the playoffs. But I thought that was frowned upon as well. An unspoken rule so to speak.

According to Friedman, the Isles have to make a decision by June 1st. Which is after the draft lottery.

The Islanders have until June 1 to let Buffalo know of their intentions regarding the first-round draft pick the Sabres acquired in October's Thomas Vanek trade. That way, both teams will know exactly where the selection falls in the lottery. If New York does not send this year's choice to Western New York, Buffalo gets 2015's.
